Remigijus Žemaitaitis, a member of the mixed group of Seimas members, told LRT radio on Wednesday that it was planned to form a new faction from the representatives of the mixed group of Seimas members, as the ruling majority “does not read with the representatives of the mixed faction. “
“It could really be a faction of the regions or a faction of some similar nature to show a certain political force in Seimas himself and in the junta itself (…). I think we have to wait until March, apparently the parties should have board and council meetings, have the idea to discuss, and if there is support, a decision, that faction could appear in March ”, assured R. Žemaitaitis.

According to him, the faction may be made up of “eight or nine members of the Seimas” from the faction of the Mixed Group of members of the Seimas, which currently brings together 13 members, including “social workers”, representatives of the Polish Lithuanian-Christian Electoral Action. Union of Families (LLRA-KŠS) and several single members.
The faction, according to the politician, would have positions in committees, commissions and thus gain more political weight, also when deciding on the leader of the opposition.
R.Tamašunienė, the eldest of the mixed faction of the Seimas members, representative of LLRA-KŠS, said he supported the idea.
“It is possible to consider that option, we did not reject it, we thought, but party decisions would be necessary,” he said.

According to the Statute of the Seimas, a faction can be established by at least seven parliamentarians.
13 politicians belong to the mixed group of members of the Seimas.
